The site sits beside the M8 Hillington interchange, one of Scotland\u2019s busiest routes, used by more than 112,000 vehicles each day.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craig Butler, Property &amp; Acquisitions Director at Believ, says: \u201cHillington is well suited to ultra-rapid charging. Thousands of people already work at or visit the park, and its location beside the M8 makes it convenient for drivers travelling through the area.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are starting with 14 bays and have designed the site with space for a further 10 as demand grows, making it the biggest ultra-rapid charging hub in the city. Working alongside the Peter Vardy Property Collective, we can introduce charging that fits the estate today and can grow with it over time.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur fully funded model means the Collective can add reliable ultra-rapid charging without the upfront cost. Believ will work with the site team from installation through to operation, helping to keep the project straightforward and deliver long-term value for the estate and its users.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Vardy at the Peter Vardy Property Collective says: &#8220;We are delighted to see the investment in much-needed EV Charging infrastructure at Hillington Park, and partnering with Believ to bring our vision to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith thousands of people working on the park and its location beside one of Scotland\u2019s busiest transport corridors, this hub will provide valuable charging access for employees, visitors and the wider travelling public. It\u2019s another important step in ensuring our estate continues to evolve to meet the needs and demands of businesses, and help the public transition to EVs across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Peter Vardy Group partnership reinforces Believ\u2019s growing presence across Scotland and the wider UK, working with <a href=\"https:\/\/client.believ.com\/retail-hospitality-report-2025\">businesses to deploy accessible, renewable-powered EV charging<\/a> that benefits them, drivers and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator (CPO) Believ has partnered with the Peter Vardy Property Collective, one of Scotland\u2019s leading industrial business parks, to deliver a fully funded ultra-rapid EV charging hub strategically located beside the M8 Hillington interchange, west of Glasgow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site will feature 14 ultra-rapid charge points in the <\/p>\n<p>Continue reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=11665\">Believ partners with the Peter Vardy Property Collective to deliver ultra-rapid EV charging hub in Scotland<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,789,15],"tags":[4123,1112,3624,3037,25,417,26,264,4989,310,416,992],"class_list":["post-11665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment-sustainability","category-transport","category-utilities-infrastructure","tag-believ","tag-ev","tag-ev-charge-points","tag-ev-charging","tag-government-public-sector-journal","tag-government-journal","tag-gpsj","tag-gpsj-magazine","tag-hillington-park","tag-public-sector","tag-public-sector-journal","tag-scotland","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Believ partners with the Peter Vardy Property Collective to deliver ultra-rapid EV charging hub in Scotland - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=11665\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Believ partners with the Peter Vardy Property Collective to deliver ultra-rapid EV charging hub in Scotland - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator (CPO) Believ has partnered with the Peter Vardy Property Collective, one of Scotland\u2019s leading industrial business parks, to deliver a fully funded ultra-rapid EV charging hub strategically located beside the M8 Hillington interchange, west of Glasgow.
